2017 Alfa Romeo Giulietta spare wheel

LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank A for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is toroidal
and is located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration and
the testing/inspection procedures of the
LPG tank can vary depending on the
national provisions in force in that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out, go to
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the
tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
20)
15)
This engine normally runs on LPG except
during starting when it runs on petrol.
Switching to LPG takes place
automatically and is indicated by the
switching-off of icon
on the display,
next to the letters LPG.
To switch to the other fuel type, press the
button
with the car stationary and
engine on, or while driving.
If the LPG runs out during LPG operation,
the system automatically switches over
to running on petrol.
The four bars near the letters LPG in the
display indicate the level of LPG in the
tank.
REFUELLING
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 38 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity.In addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having different
supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
19)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under
this category.
20)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
21)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.

alert any bystander that the vehicle is
about to be raised; all persons should be
kept away from the vehicle and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
fit handle 2 fig. 92 into the housing in
device 1, operate the jack and raise the
vehicle until the wheel is a few
centimetres from the ground;
35)
for versions with wheel cap, remove
the wheel cap after loosening the
4 fastening bolts and finally loosen the
fifth bolt and remove the wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the space-saver wheel by inserting
the first bolt for two threads into the hole
closest to the valve;
take the wrench 1 fig. 90 and fully
tighten the fixing bolts;
operate the jack handle 2 fig. 92 to
lower the car. Then extract the jack;
use the wrench 1 fig. 90 provided to
fully tighten the bolts in a criss-cross
fashion as per the numerical sequence
illustrated in fig. 94;
when replacing an alloy wheel it is
advisable to place it upside down, with
the aesthetic part facing upwards.
Restore the standard wheel as soon as
possible, because, once placed in the
associated compartment, the luggage
compartment load platform is rendered
uneven as the standard wheel is larger
than the spare wheel.
36)
REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER (versions
with Bose HI-FI)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure
only applies to cars equipped with Bose
Hi-Fi systems with subwoofer (for
versions/markets, where provided).
Subwoofer and space-saver spare wheel
On these versions, the tools needed for
changing the wheel are arranged in a
specific container on the left-hand side of
the luggage compartment (see fig. 95 ).
The jack is stored in a pocket also on the
left-hand side of the luggage
compartment.
Proceed as follows to remove the
subwoofer:
open the luggage compartment, lift
the mat using the tab provided and
remove the load compartment spacer;

119)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used
as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
120)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other
vehicle models. Never use it for repair
operations under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle
to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label. Never install
snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if a
front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
121)Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the car is in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Regularly check the inflation pressure
of the tyres and space-saver wheel (see
chapter "Technical specifications").122)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a tyre
gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle
with which it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Any other use, e.g. to jack
up other vehicle models or different things,
is strictly prohibited. Never use for
maintenance or repair activities under the
car or to exchange the summer/winter
wheels and vice versa. Never go under the
raised vehicle. Should it be necessary to
work under the vehicle, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the raised vehicle to fall:
use only in the positions indicated. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your
hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touching
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as
soon as possible to have the correct
tightening of the wheel bolts checked.
